These inspired to change the structure of curricula of the study branch and also the conception of some classes to better cover the legislative needs. Nowadays the study field biomedical engineering is educated as study fild in bachelor and master study at VŠB - Technical university of Ostrava, Faculty of electrical engineering and computer science with cooperation of Medico-Social faculty of the University of Ostrava and University Hospital Ostrava teaching medico - social courses.
